Birthdays, Halloween and Beach

As usual, I ended up putting these pictures in reverse order of when they happened, but hey, do you want perfection this early in my blogging career?!
Birthday treasure hunts are a tradition in our family and they are especially fun with Sienna and Miya's help. Alisha gets lots of help from the girls in reading and finding her clues and opening her gifts.

Larry and I took a much needed three day total R&R trip to the beach the first week of November. It was fabulous! The weather was warm, the sun-warmer, the salty breeze-cool and the hot tub-hot! It was a great three days and we are ready to go again.

Trunk or Treat was a big two ward deal with dinner, parade and lots of trunk or treating. The Palmers were a family of classy witches, who had turned Matthew into a newt! So cute, lots of fun but I'm glad I don't have to plan another one of these for two more years!!

Grandma's birthday brought a new feature...a treasure hunt written by Sienna, it was awesome! And I even found my gifts. Two of my three favorite treasures are right here with me:

Fun times, fun family, and now a true time of gratitue is on it's way as the whole family gathers together for the Thanksgiving Holiday... I can't wait!!!
